I wish to make a call to the person who receives it appears another number to the current, only now I make the call, I need to pass as a parameter a name or number that appears to the person receiving the call
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:1645"));
intent.setAction(intent.ACTION_CALL);
startActivity(intent);
Thats not even to do with the Android OS.
It has to do with GSM settings, and it chiped in the SIM card.
after so long I add the solution to the question.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:600"));
intent.putExtra("account", 0);
startActivity(intent);
It should be noted that the device handled several telephone bills and therefore the code did not work

I am making my own project but I am stuck.
Getting the information from the user in the first activity is working just fine.
But when I try to get those numbers, ints, in the third activity via a second activity, it is showing me the default value.
I am trying it using an Intent, but it is not working.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, active.class);
Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, BMR_Active.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT_height,height );
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT_weight,weight);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT_age,age);
startActivity(intent);
It is giving me a default value i.e. 0(I have given) in BMR activity then i am going via active activity.
Your putExtra method via intent would work fine, but are you also running putExtra BEFORE starting the third activiy?
The data is first passed from first activity to second activity, then from second activity is passed to third activity using the same method.
Additional Note:
In cases like this, I would usually use fragments instead, I would store the data in the activity and fragments will obtain the datas via getActivity(). This will eliminate the needs of multiple passing of data around.
Based on what you said in your comment about passing data straight from Activity 1 to Activity 3, then what you can do is the following:
Page1.class:
Intent toPage3 = new Intent(Page1.this, Page3.class);
int myNum = 5;
toPage3.putExtra("Number", myNum);
startActivity(toPage3);
Page3.class:
Intent receiveIntent = getIntent();
int numFromPage1 = receiveIntent.getIntExtra("Number");
I believe that this should answer your question. numFromPage1 will be an int containing the value from Page1.
I'm simply trying to carry a string onto the next activity without having to define an entire object for the task. I've seen similar solutions and gotten them to work BUT without using AsyncTask to create the intent.
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
if (loggedIn && hasPin) {
Intent intent = new Intent(UniteActivity.this,
WebViewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(PASSED_USERNAME, passUser);
startActivity(intent);
}
if (loggedIn && !hasPin) {
Intent intent = new Intent(UniteActivity.this,
CreatePinActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(PASSED_USERNAME, passUser);
startActivity(intent);
PASSED_USERNAME is a public static constant to hold the package name, just as the putExtra() method requires. I then try to pull the value out in the next activity.
Intent extras = getIntent();
String username = extras.getStringExtra(UniteActivity.PASSED_USERNAME);
// carry username to next activity
Intent intent = new Intent(CreatePinActivity.this,WebViewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(PASSED_USERNAME, username);
startActivity(intent);
There is never a String to pull out, the value of username is always null. I've gone through the debugger and found that the Eclipse IDE debugger shows different intent ID's between the activities, they are never consistant. Is it possible that AsyncTask is interfereing somehow because it splits into a seperate thread?
I don't know if this applies to your problem, because I can't see from your code snippet if the intermediary activity is freshly created or not.
BUT: the getIntent()-method always returns the first Intent that started the activity. If the activity remains in the background and receives a new Intent this value does not get updated automatically. You have to override onNewIntent(...) and manually call setIntent(...) for this to work (or do all your stuff directly there).
So just for the case that you do not run your posted code in the onCreate() method please check if you did not miss to fetch the real intent you are interested in.
Not sure of the exact answer for you solution.
You calling startActivity on the UI since it's in postExecute().
If all else fails you can just save that value to a sharedpreference.
The way you have handled the variable PASSED_USERNAME seems incorrect. You have used it in some palaces as simple PASSED_USERNAME whereas in some other places you have used it with the class named prefixed UniteActivity.PASSED_USERNAME. Since it is a Public Static Constant always use it prefixed with the class name.
How to launch specific intent (such as call) using google voice? How to pass phone number using intent? Following code launches google voice but what value to be passed for making call using google voice as intent extras?
final Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.google.android.apps.googlevoice", "com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.activity.conversationlist.ConversationListActivity"));
intent.putExtra("label", "<phone number>");
startActivity(intent);
Here what should i put in label to start the intent that launches a call using google voice?
Any help is appreciated... Thanks in Advance...
NEVER target applications directly like that UNLESS it is in your package. You should be using the Intent filter to catch that particular application. Sometimes you have to target an application like this, but this brings up the risk of change in package name errors.
To handle your particular application, you need to look at how information is being passed into Google voice. this will give you insight and how to target it WITHOUT targeting the exact package name.
What #JoxTraex said makes sense. However some clients need funny features like this, so we have no way but to implement this:
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL,Uri.parse("tel:" + mobile));
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.googlevoice");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
GMHintManager.getInstance().showError(context, "Google Voice not installed");
}
Yes, you should try-catch ActivityNotFoundException.
I want to invoke one application from another application.
My Java file code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_RUN);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("Package name", "class name"));
startActivity(intent);
But I'm getting problem in specifying exact package path and I don't know permission for that code in Manifest. Please, help me on this.
I am going to assume that you really mean that you want to launch another app, not another Activity in your app.
Then there are two ways to do this. You can try using an implicit intent which according to the docs, an (Implicit) intent is "an abstract description of an operation to be performed" that "provides for performing late runtime binding between code in different applications." Sort of like trying to launch a method over the wire using an interface. You cannot be sure exactly what the class of the object that is launched only that it can handle the action and categories that you declare.
The second approach is an explicit intent, which is more like making a concrete call over the wire. If you know the package and class name this should work.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
//intent.putExtra("plain_text", "Testing");
intent.setClassName("packagename", "packagename.ClassName"); // Explicit Intent
try {
startActivity(intent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.d(TAG","onCreate",e);
}
}
You can add extra info using flags depending on your needs and where your are trying to launch from.

Starting an external activity from your app is done using a slightly different method to that which you are using. You need to create an intent with a given action. For example, launching an intent to fetch an image from the gallery would look like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_PICK);
Note that you don't explicitly define the activity to be loaded, rather the kind of action you want to perform. Android will then pick (or have the user pick) an activity that has registered to handle this kind of intent to be run.
You might need to be a little more specific about what you're doing. If all you want to do is, say, launch another Activity from your main Activity, something like this would work:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, OtherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("key", "data"); //put any data you want to pass into the new activity
startActivity(intent);
Then just make sure you put the new activity in your manifest like this:
<activity android:name=".OtherActivity"
android:label="#string/other"/>
If your goal is something else then you should be ore specific with what you want to do.
I asked a question previously about what shows up in the IntentChooser when I send an Intent with ACTION_SEND and MIME type "image/png". The problem is that some phones come with a default messaging app that is not showing up in the list, mine included (myTouch 4G) as well as a user that I speak with over email (using an HTC EVO). If I choose a Send or Share option from the built in gallery app or another application on the same image I'm saving and attempting to send directly from my app, Messages shows up in the list. From my app it does not. Other phones don't have this problem, so it's clearly a platform specific thing. But that doesn't mean I should just ignore the problem.
So, I go to troubleshooting the issue. I register one of the activities in my app to receive the the same type of intent, and then hit a breakpoint to analyze the Intent object being sent from the two different ways of sending it.
The problem is, the intent I'm sending and the intent being sent from Gallery or AndroZip (where Messages does show up in the chooser) seem to be the same. They both have the same action, same categories, same flags, same mime type. What else can I inspect on the Intent from Gallery or AndroZip to tell if there's some more information I can add to my Intent to get the default messaging app to show up in the chooser in cases where it is not?
The problem is specific to HTC Sense phones, and it arises because their Gallery and Messaging apps are different to the stock ones.
Specifically the Intent sent from Gallery to Messaging has the action android.intent.action.SEND_MSG which is different to android.intent.action.SEND. The Sense messaging app doesn't handle SEND, unlike the stock messaging app.
So the question becomes, how is the Sense Gallery app creating an activity chooser dialog which combines both SEND and SEND_MSG ?
I've done some research and got mostway there... the code below works, but the "Messages" entry in the dialog appears at the top rather than in alphabetical order as per Gallery. Doubtless some more research into intents would correct that, but at least this works:
// Create a chooser for things that can ACTION_SEND images
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri data = Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media/98");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, data);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Blah");
// Add the stupid HTC-Sense-specific secondary intent
Intent htcIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG");
htcIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, data);
htcIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] { htcIntent });
// Show the chooser
startActivity(chooser);
First of all, +1 to Reuben, he is the genius, not me. But I had to modify his code a bit to get it to work. Basically I had to putExtra() on the htcIntent or the image never got stuck to the Intent.
Tested and validated on a Droid X and HTC Incredible (which had the same problem until now thanks to Reuben).
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(mFile));
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
intent.setType("image/png");
Intent htcIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG");
htcIntent.setType("image/png");
htcIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Method");
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] { htcIntent });
startActivity(chooser);
Edit: I realize I'm putting the image on two Intents now, but I couldn't get it to work any other way.
Instead of debugging the intents, why not try to compare how your starting the chooser with how the gallery is doing it. It is open source after all, so instead of trying to guess at the issue with the result, you can debug from the cause.
